About this data

Official: Matches the government’s official announcement or data
Rule: Computed from the legal rules (not yet checked against official data)
Estimated: Not yet announced, or depends on moon sighting and may change

"Government offices" marks days off for government agencies and civil servants (such as Indonesia's collective leave and Canada's federal holidays). Whether private employers close depends on the employer. These days are not counted as public holidays, and the API/MCP business-day calculations treat them as working days by default.
Holidays are computed with python-holidays (MIT license; python-holidays 0.106 (MIT)).
Region names are shown in English.
